The location of deserts is dependent on two factors, latitude and global wind patterns. Most deserts are located between 15' and 35' latitude, both north and south of the equator. In terms of global wind patterns, most deserts are located within the Southeastern and Northeastern trade winds belt.
Although most deserts, such as the Sahara of North Africa and the deserts of the southwestern U.S., Mexico, and Australia, occur at low latitudes, another kind of desert, cold deserts, occur in the basin and range area of Utah and Nevada and in parts of western Asia.lthough most deserts, such as the Sahara of North Africa and the deserts of the southwestern U.S., Mexico, and Australia, occur at low latitudes, another kind of desert, cold deserts, occur in the basin and range area of Utah and Nevada and in parts of western Asia.
